Design: Office Inspiration

Hello, hello!  It's Sam from The Peak of Très Chic, back with another lovely dose of decor.  I recently participated in the One Room Challenge with 20 other design bloggers across the country.  We were each given the task of designing a room within a tight 6 week timeline, and sharing our gradual progress with readers each week.  

I chose to design a home office, and in the process of research became quite inspired by chic desktops and desktop accessories:




Although the office I designed for the challenge was quite bold and textured, I've recently become more drawn to streamlined, less-cluttered offices, with just a few pops of color:


Shop This Office:

Colored Pencil Set with Brass Holder $82/Lola Donahue Fashion Illustration $30/Gem Lamp in Steel Blue $165/Z-Gallerie Lacquer Desk $499/Clayton Home Lucite Chair $380/Green Leopard Lumbar $165

I've been eyeing that leopard lumbar for weeks now.  It would be such a fun pop of color when paired with a lacquered desk and lucite chair, don't you think?

Maldives Rangali Islands: Underwater Hotel Rooms

Newlyweds tend to go somewhere tropical or at least somewhere where they're surrounded by incredible views for their honeymoon, but have you ever thought of spending your honeymoon below the Indian Ocean??

The Maldives Rangali Island Resort makes it possible. The glass domed aquarium is actually a restaurant, but they turn it into a luxurious suite for honeymoon bookings!

This is now on the top of my bucket list, definitely a once in a lifetime experience. 





Would you sleep in a hotel room that was underwater?

Fashion: Stripes

Hi guys - Kat here!  I found this street style picture on tumblr and it inspired me to write today's post. I love how classic and cool this girl looks.  Stripes are timeless and can be worn so many different ways. You can wear a striped top with a basic pair of jeans or with a bold pair of floral pants.  

If you don't love striped clothing you can wear striped accessories like the ones below.  I need to get my hands on those striped espadrilles - they're only $36 and perfect to run around the city in!

New Paris Prints

Welcome back to Monday! Hope you had a great few days off! Is a vacation on your mind lately? I've always wanted to visit Paris. What about you??  So much so, that I was inspired to create a few French prints. Oui.  These are truly the smallest prints MadeByGirl has ever done, and we love them! Each print is 5"x7" and the background is a bright CORAL with metallic GOLD letters. If this isn't a gorgeous color combo I don't know what is! 

So, if you want to spice up the walls in your home or office or even in your closet, these will fit pretty much anywhere! You can buy one, two or all four as a set! If you buy 4 - you save $6. I highly recommend getting them framed in the gold metal frame.

 

Tip - to really see the gold, make sure you face the prints directly toward the natural light.

Enjoy your weekend!

Darla

I haven't had much time to enjoy the Mark 2 camera I bought earlier this year. In fact I've only used it for work purposes. I finally decided to play with it today & Darla (my pretty boxer) was the subject.

She played it cool the entire time - posing while looking out the window, then away from the cam & then looking a bit tired. She's 9 years old & still healthy, so grateful to God! My favorite moments with her are when I get up in the morning & look over as she glances up at me. I also love entering our apt after a walk, she sits & waits for me to wipe her feet. (Yes, we wipe them every time) The look in her eyes as she glances up at me while I clean her little paws, so in love.


I can't even imagine what it's like to be without her.

















Do you have a pet? What is your most cherished moment with them?
